The Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers (76ers) Podcast (Spike Eskin)

We’ve made a lot of enemies over the last six years, and most of them don’t even know they’re our enemies. In September of 2017, we did our first podcast ranking the Enemies Of The Process, and we decided it was time for an updated ranking. Andrew Unterberger joins us to figure out which Colangelo is worse, where David Silver ranks, whether Spike’s dad is in the top ten, and where everyone else falls in the top 20. We also talk about the Sixers hire of Ime Udoka as assistant coach.

Joel Embiid dominated, Jimmy Butler came through in the fourth quarter, and the Sixers beat the miserable, hate each other, hot seat coach having, Kyrie Irving hating, hate to see it, House Of Pain singing, Boston Celtics. We talk about Embiid and Butler’s performances, a surprise banning from our live shows, and Andrew Unterberger talks about which fans hate us the most. Let’s enjoy this one.

Lottery Party presale sold out in about an hour, but you still have a chance at tickets. A limited number of General Admission and VIP tickets go on sale Friday at 10am at this location. Do not miss it this time. They will sell out quickly as they do every year. And it’s the last one. We need to celebrate together. Thanks to everyone who participated in presale.

Ike Reese, who once jumped on Mike's back after the Sixers won the Lottery, joins the show to talk about his afternoon show on 94WIP, Ben Simmons and the Sixers after the layoff in the weirdo Orlando playoffs, and his experience on the air in the last two weeks during the George Floyd protests. We also discuss Larry Brown's comments about Simmons and Embiid and whether Joel is actually working out six times a week.

The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

In are Peter Dinwiddie and Prosper Karangwa to the Sixers front office, out are the Hinkie guys, moved to the back closet are Alex Rucker and Ned Cohen, and sitting at home having never been called is Daryl Morey. We talk about the Sixers insistence on not bringing in a real executive, discuss the hirings of Dinwiddie and Karangwa, read passages from Scott O'Neil's 2005 book about the rat race, dissect a trade for each Sixers player, and once again give great (??) relationship advice. 

The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

It’s better to have both Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, but can we see the version of Ben Simmons we saw against the Nets with Joel Embiid in the game? What will it take to bring out the best version of both players, and why is it so hard to have an honest, all encompassing conversation about Ben Simmons? We talk about Furkan Korkmaz’s development, Tobias Harris’ consistency, trade leaks and rumors, and the Toni Tony Tatone Cover Song Contest for “You Don’t F**k Wit’ Me (I Won’t F**ck Wit’ You).

Read The Great Ben Simmons Debate by Andrew Unterberger and SixersAdam here.

Over/unders are always one of our most popular podcasts. As we move to Sixers season previews, we take on a ton of over/unders, including Ben Simmons threes, Embiid games played, Zaire Smith minutes, Brett Brown aging, and much more. We also discuss where Antonio Brown would fit in the list of Sixers crazy stories, where Charles Barkley sits as an all-time Sixer, and how Mike Scott will deal without wearing the Karate Kid style headband. 

Mike is back! James Harden's offense has been excellent since he's returned, and he saved the Sixers against Utah. We discuss Harden's offense, his defense, the Embiid/Harden two man game, whether trading Maxey can increase the Sixers title odds, Doc's obsession with Harrell and we return to the BBall Paul hoodie story. Also we've got a demand from Gregg Popovich.

The Sixers went on the road, got down by 19 points, and came back to beat the Bucks on the back of James Harden and George Niang. We talk about the game, and what it means for their championship hopes. Spike launches his Giannis for MVP campaign by repeatedly talking about how unskilled he is. We also discuss BBall Paul's interaction with the NBA refs on Twitter, we welcome Philly's own Heavy Slime to the Live Ricky V merch offerings (along with Abbie), and we end the show with Mike getting some heat in the voicemails.

The Sixers lost again on Tuesday night, and again to a bad team. Back to back losses to the Bulls and the Kings (without Joel Embiid) have people out for Brett Brown blood. We talk about how Brown has done this year and what responsibility he has to fix what's wrong. We also discuss Ben Simmons' decision to take six shots in last night's game.

The live Ricky is FRIDAY! Tickets are $18 if you get them before Friday, and $20 on Friday.

We recap the week in Sixers, including the double-overtime loss to the Grizzlies, the Embiid-less obliteration by the Bulls, the win over the Heat, and Robert Covington's sorta-break out of his slump. We also briefly preview the Cavs game, and take a ton of questions from Twitter.

As Mike predicted to save his own sanity the minute the injury happened, Ben Simmons will not play for the Sixers this year. Bryan Colangelo announced this during his Friday press briefing, though our friend John Barchard announced it several hours earlier.

We discuss the press conference, Simmons sitting the year, the continued knee troubles for Joel Embiid, and the Sixers as the Indians from Major League.

We also talk to Dr. Marc Legere, about the Simmons and Embiid injuries. Dr. Legere is a nationally recognized Chiropractic physician specializing in soft tissue and sports injuries.  Dr. Legere has worked on hundreds of professional athletes in the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL who are suffering from injuries around the body.

Our very first Maxey and McCain game brought us the Sixers third win of the season, a lot of joy, and some thoughts about our future backcourt. We talk about it all. Then we discuss the troubling news about Joel Embiid’s knee, and what is quite possibly something that the team can’t overcome.

Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer was unbanned because of his beard and sweetness and talked about what he’s doing with his free time, the fact that the Patriots should have kept Jimmy G and traded Tom Brady and then he did a WEEI audition, the Sixers playoff rotation, who his favorite guitar player ever is, up and coming female pop artists, and he has to choose the winners of two matchups of the Field Of 64 Jigsaws.

Jimmy Butler tormenting Sixers fans every other day in the Eastern Conference Finals. We discuss what we can learn from the Butler time in Philly, and whether we should move on (LOL, move on!). We disparage Sixers ownership for not caring about the team, Alyssa The Lakers Fan from the Table Flipping Podcast joins us to talk about success in the fake NBA playoffs, and we discuss what Mike D'Antoni would mean for Simmons and Embiid. "I don't think it's good business when all of your rival teams think you're a fuckin joke."

The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

We're in Los Angeles for Fly The Process! Spike and Mike do a pod together in the rain on a park bench in Culver City. We talk about the loss to the Lakers, Maxey's awesome second half, Tobias' brain freezes, and why Buddy Hield doesn't just let the three pointers fly. Then we talk about some Fly The Process stories, Joel Embiid's pending return, and what we may chant at James Harden on Sunday.

The Sixers are 1-6, now Maxey is hurt, Embiid's not back till Tuesday. We don't think this is the end, but it's not great. We give some reasons for hope (??) and talk it all through. We also laugh at JJ Redick's emotional press conference, and look at the amazing new Jerry Colangelo statue.

Somehow, the Sixers steal the show! 10pm until 2am, right after the Sixers shocking win over the Heat. Michael Levin, Chris Vito, Tzvi Twersky and Howard Eskin join the show. A little Eagles stuff in there as well.

Woj said that Ben Simmons isn't coming to camp, then Jason Dumas said fans are planning to boo him at camp, then Doc Rivers lied, then the Timberwolves fired their GM and maybe want to hire Elton Brand, and then the owner of the Warriors said Ben Simmons makes a lot of money. It truly never ends. Then Jordan Ligons of the Spinsters podcast joins Mike to preview the WNBA playoffs.

The first pod of the season with actual Sixers basketball! Somehow, some way, Tyrese Maxey got better again. It's pretty wild to see. We talk about Maxey, Harden, Embiid, and the rest of the Sixers after two preseason games. Zach Lowe said the name on the Bill Simmons podcast, we play that back and analyze, and Tommy from JJ Redick's podcast can't shoot a basketball.

Hey, here we are again! We discuss the news about Ben Simmons, make up scenarios, and help you get through it. Let us know if you find out who is helping us get through it. 

We also talk about Nerlens Noel's comments at camp, and what the Sixers lineup may look like now. 

The Sixers will be one of 22 teams competing in empty gyms in Disney World. We discuss how we think the team will fare, the continuing protests across the country, and we welcome World Champion Bowler, Sixers fan, and Ricky guy Bill O'Neill to ask him a million bowling questions he never expected. Bill is on Twitter here, and will be bowling live on Fox, Friday night at 7pm. He'll donate 10% of his winnings to Coded By Kids.

The Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. We'd like to thank Draft Kings for their support, and donations to our charities. 

In June, we'll celebrate five years of the Rights To Ricky Sanchez. This is the first podcast we've ever done previewing a playoff series for the Sixers. Let's look at Heat vs. Sixers. We all love the offseason Ricky, but we're glad to wait for it this year. 

A side note: the Lottery Party is happening regardless of whether the Sixers are in the Eastern Conference Finals or not. Let's get there first then worry about it! 

Kevin O'Connor is banned, he's just filling in for Mike. We talk about KOC's Jokic vote for MVP, and whether he feels bad about it. We also talk about whether we'd rather have Jokic or Embiid for one season to win a title. Then we discuss whether the Sixers are title contenders, the outrageous individual scoring in the NBA and what can be done to bring value back to the regular season. Finally, we get another scary Q-Tip story. Listen to KOC on The Ringer Draft Show and The Mismatch.

After a hard-to-watch loss to the Celtics, Mike has a meltdown about the Sixers slowness and demands Daryl Morey show him something. Then we rank the Sixers by trade value, discuss guilty pleasure movies, and Mike tries to end the bathroom talk.

Fantasource drops a little knowledge and gives an NFL three team tease for this week, Spike gives his "gut" three team tease, and we both try not to lose again.

Jimmy Butler appeared on JJ Redick’s (not on social media) podcast, we discuss the appearance, Butler’s groin, the concerns with giving him a five-year max, the loss to the Nets and the Sixers inability to guard guards, why the Sixers didn’t pick up Furkan Korkmaz’s option, a potential Markelle Fultz trade, go Around The League with Ish Smith to discuss Steph Curry and walking on the moon, and the 2008-2013 Sixers in the Lorenzo Brown mailbag.

** Fly The Process IV to Minnesota is 2/3 sold out. Go to our website to reserve your spot! **

Spike and Mike discuss their thoughts going into Thursday night's NBA Draft. Part 2 will be released on Friday morning. Happy Hinkie Day. 

Spike and Mike give their official Big Boards, Mike from hours of watching college basketball, Spike from watching highlights on YouTube only. Spike goes over his top ten, and Mike responds with a top 30. Also up for discussion is Kyrie Irving and Al Horford having almost assuredly decided to leave the Boston Celtics to not play in Boston and not play for a coach whose job is always on the line.

Has Mike changed his stance on Dario's Rookie Of The Year campaign? You must listen to find out.

We also discuss being #TooGood, Embiid's surgery, and take as many AMA questions from Reddit as we possibly can.

The Rights To Ricky Sanchez theme song is by Amos Lee and Jaron Olevsky and available on our SoundCloud page.

The Lottery Party is sold out, but we will release a LIMITED number of tickets for download at 10am on 5/15. T-Shirts are available on our website.

The USA Olympic team won the gold medal, and the team seemed to love Embiid. We talk about the victory over France, Wemby's future, Kevin Durant trolling Denver fans, and some gameplay changes the NBA could make to be more similar to international play. Then we dive into the mailbag and voicemail and determine if a caller is lying.

Spike and Mike talk about their love for Brett Brown, the trade prospects of Young, Turner and Hawes, the Brandon Davies (!!!) injury, Dewayne Dedmon, and a brand new JIGSAW.

Today's podcast is admittedly pretty meta! We discuss Sam Hinkie's appearance on the Invest Like The Best podcast, including his long view approach to marriage and asset management approach to children, JJ Redick's appearance on a Ringer podcast of a banned personality, Joel Embiid's appearance on a Philadelphia playground to dunk on a regular guy as well as his appearance on the All-NBA Second Team. We also discuss Run The Jewels' decision to favor the Ricky over the Super Bowl.

Thanks to local singer Felicia Ricci,who recorded the video of Embiid dunking on some guy, for coming on and telling us about seeing it and her run-in with Meek Mill while getting a manicure. 

We announced on the podcast that this year's Lottery Party raised $18,100 for Justice Rescueand the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Thanks for your part in this!

Spike and Mike talk about dealing with the Sixers and boredom, Thaddeus Young's resurgence, and whether any of the players will make the All-Star team. The JIGSAW was cut because Spike got called to host a radio show. Sorry!

The Sixers sit alone at the top of the Eastern Conference, with the offense building and the defense humming. We discuss the emergence of Tobias Harris and Mike's necessary apologies, the continued dominance and MVP case for Joel Embiid, the Ben Simmons three and more. We take arguments from Army members and PhD holders in the Tank vs. Babies debate, get a read on Mike's Harden Trade Monitor (and if Harden would stay in Houston), and some important relationship advice. 

The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

New videos of Ben Simmons and photos of Markelle Fultz are discussed along with their relative chances of real jump shots. The Sixers general manager situation, what is going on and who is leading it? The issue of mental health, depression and anxiety in the NBA. We talk about JJ Redick's "person in a cage story," and reveal our ballots for the Process Hall of Fame with Andrew Unterberger. 

The Sixers beat the Suns for their fourth straight! We discuss Maxey battling through a bad half, Embiid’s passing, Spike becoming an Oubre guy, and the potential for the Sixers to re-sign Tobias Harris. Then we play a new game on the pod called STAR HUNTING (sorry for the audio issue there, we will fix it), where we look at struggling teams Morey could poach from. Finally, we talk about Jaden Springer’s upside, Daryl Morey's umming problem, and what the hell the In-Season Tournament is.

What a way to wake up! Doc Rivers had some very horny tweets in his likes on Twitter. VERY HORNY. We go through them and talk about the likelihood that he was hacked (the team says he was). Then we discuss Daryl Morey's comment about players not wanting to play in Philadelphia, Montrezl Harrell's video where he tells police that Jokic is the best big man he's played against and the Wells Fargo Center is his least favorite arena. Finally, we discuss some prop bets about Ben Simmons' upcoming season, which Sixers players handle spicy food the best and which towns in Delco are "real Delco."

Spike and Mike talk about the Sixers preseason losses to the Nets and Bobcats, Allen Iverson, the Iverson Sixers vs. the Lebron Cavs, and which of the currents Sixers they'd buy stock in. They end with some relationship advice from Mike. 

The Sixers win a few close ones against Charlotte and then get beat down by Utah. Are we mediocre? The Trailblazers are a mess, CJ McCollum is a Sixer in more ways than none, and is it a clicker or remote?

With just a month or so left in the season, do the Sixers have enough time with all of their key players together to be good enough to get through the Eastern Conference? Also discussed are what’s going on with Jimmy Butler, the options the Sixers would have if he doesn’t resign, other players we like watching who have never been Sixers, LeBron passing Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. And a new Sixers song from Heemy76.

It's Nick Foles fever! Do you have it?! Spike and Lee (Chris still MIA) discuss the QB controversy, who we think will start against the Cowboys, who should start against the Cowboys, and if it's ok that Spike wanted Foles to fail

An abbreviated podcast as we wait for the Jahlil Okafor trade.

We talked about the Joel Embiid injury and dancing, the TJ McConnell game-winner and we countdown to the Okafor trade.

A new podcast coming when the trade happens!

Joel Embiid got into a fight with Karl-Anthony Towns, and then called him a number of names on Instagram and Twitter afterward. Ben Simmons joined in, Al Horford did not, and Mike Scott really enjoyed all of it. We talk about the fight and how it can galvanize the team, the defensive efforts in the wins over the Timberwolves and the Hawks, the team’s evolution on offense, the Korkmaz game, and naming the new Victory Cigar player, as well as Frosty Freeze-Out leader.

Remember the good old days, when the NBA trade deadline was the second most fun day of the year for us (second to the NBA Lottery obviously)? Well, it's not anymore. We've traded some wins for drama at the deadline. We discuss the Sixers quiet deadline, and the already-legendary Bryan Colangelo press availability that happened on Friday. 

Come see Spike and TJ McConnell at Time After Time Watches at the Bellevue Hotel on Tuesday 2/13 from 5pm till 6pm. Meet TJ!

Come see Spike and Eric Slick of Dr. Dog appear on the Kevin McDonald podcast at the Philly Improv Theater on Friday, 2/16 at 8pm and 10pm. Get tickets at foreverdogpodcasts.com.

The Pelicans game was terrible, but we have a lot of fun talking about the loss, whether you'd rather be able to easily dunk or do sick guitar solos, STARHUNTING for LeBron, and we try to name Dan Olinger's new column. Finally, Spike shows the X-Ray of his new hip, without his penis in the X-Ray.

The Sixers are the co-favorites in the Eastern Conference, but they are not the only team in the Eastern Conference. Before we dive into team-by-team deep dives, we take a big picture look at the the East with The Ringer’s John Gonzalez. We talk about the Bucks, Celtics, Nets, Pacers, Raptors and Heat. We also guess whether Jimmy Butler will get booed, and pitch Live Ricky IV as a story for John to cover.

Live Ricky IV: Cashed Out with Mike Scott is coming on 9/27 at the Franklin Music Hall. Don't miss it! Tickets available here. 

Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram met again, and Ingram got the better of it this time. How does that matchup look moving forward? We look at what went wrong in the home losses this week, and a rousing mailbag including a potential fistfight with Joel Embiid and TJ McConnell.

Another thanks to Run The Jewels for agreeing to allow us to use the song "Legend Has It" as our new intro song. Listen to their music, buy their stuff and let them send you push notifications. 

The tenth season of the Ricky is underway, so we make our predictions and over/unders for this year's Sixers team. We talk about the team cutting Isaiah Joe and Charles Bassey, guaranteeing Paul Reed's contract, and extending and/or trading Matisse Thybulle. We then talk about Ben Simmons' most recent comments about his relationship with Joel Embiid, and the possibility of Tyrese Maxey becoming the leading scorer on the Sixers.

We begin our eighth season of pods about the Sixers (kind of) with predictions for how we think the season will go, over under bets for the entire season (some serious, some not so serious), and a draft of Bold Predictions as Andrew Unterberger joins us to score how bold they actually are. We also update feelings on what's going on with a James Harden trade for Ben Simmons. 

The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

With rumors of both players potentially leaving their current teams, we discuss whether the next five years of Embiid's career could be better than those of Giannis. Then we dive into emails and voicemails, including ranking the Sixers execs of the last decade, the 'survive on an island' controversy around Mike and CJ, whether Spike has ever seen Lord Of The Rings, and whose value was higher at the time of their trade demand, Simmons or Harden. Also plenty of non-Sixers stuff to keep you sane.

The Sixers beat the Pelicans and the Thunder, and are once again on a win streak. We note Joel Embiid's scoring dominance and still manage to complain about him. Talk about how Harden's stepback is the key to his entire game, how the Sixers can solve their rebounding issues, BBall Paul's customer service, a Shake Milton trade, and much more.

Friend of the Ricky Bill O'Neill was screwed by the Pro Bowlers Association, Spike has an aggressive and possibly controversial take about the Sixers coaching situation, the guys discuss the release of Mike's Brotherly Love script on 6/25 for charity (thanks Touchstone!), which Sixers would be the best two on two team, whether Furkan looks a little hefty in his latest social media posts, we return to the Ship Of Theseus, and look at some Sixers Adam trade proposals.

The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook. 

Joel Embiid’s foot injured ‘healed’ and his knee ‘swelled.’ The season is essentially over. We discuss what the rest of the season looks like, lottery odds, who gets traded, what the future of Joel Embiid looks like, if we’re too easy on Morey, and the unlikely return of the Lottery Party.

It's a Black Friday edition of the Ricky! We take Twitter questions, talk MCW vs. Wroten, give progress reports on every player, and give some great Black Friday deals.Today's sponsor is Michael Baumann's awesome book Philadelphia Phenoms: The Most Amazing Athletes To Play In The City Of Philadelphia, a WONDERFUL gift for the sports fan in your life.

The Sixers are playing the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and we've got a full preview in the only way we know how to do it. 

Playing the Celtics is a true revenge series for the Sixers. Maybe not for the Sixers, but for us. Several our of nemeses are Celtics adjacent, whether it be Danny Ainge, Bill Simmons, or the banned Kevin O'Connor. Not to mention Donnie Wahlberg. 

We also announce the winners of the Lottery Party wedding!

Joel Embiid went from doubtful, to probable, to starting, to playoff Embiid. It was glorious. The Sixers had to fight to win this one, and we saw a little playoff Dario, playoff TJ, and playoff Justin Anderson as well. We discuss the win, as well as Robert Covington's play, and the general chippiness of the series. 

Probably our most offseason podcast ever. We discuss Daryl Morey's following of a questionable Twitter account (we're not judging!), Tobias Harris' wedding, Ben Simmons engagement being broken off, Adam Aron's tweet storm about AMC stock, and some training camp battles we're looking ahead to.

Somehow we're in the ninth day of this, and the only people who don't know that the right move is to move on from Bryan Colangelo is the Sixers themselves. We try to keep our sanity, discuss what could be causing the delay, and decide what happens if they don't fire him. 

We waited four months, and the Sixers were nice enough to play all of the greatest hits in their return to the court. Ben isn't shooting! Why did Brett do that? What is wrong with Horford? Why do they look so miserable? We discuss the Sixers return, take some excellent mailbag questions, and talk to Tina Dixon Spence of Buddha Babe, whose children's pajamas store is making our new masks. Get the masks here, only 250 of them!

Doc Rivers said it's not going to be a Paul Reed Victory Tour, but he's f**king wrong. We take a victory lap and wonder what Doc Rivers' problem is, as he was both wrong and condescending in his most recent press conference regarding B Ball Paul. Then we discuss the Raptors series, along with Matisse Thybulle's unavailability. Mike curses a lot, and makes a stunning prediction.

By the way, the Ricky isn't going anywhere. We promise.

Spike and Lee discuss how Michael Vick was ever a choice to start that game, Chip Kelly's questionable decision-making during the game, Matt Barkley's play, and Chris Johnson returns with his own segment. Oh, and maybe it's Tebow Time. 

Joel Embiid played his most complete game of the season as the Sixers won in Oklahoma City. Tyrese Maxey returned to form, and we talk about that and his slow starts. We also discuss the continued decision to play Marcus Morris, and the quiet awesome play of Nic Batum and Robert Covington.

We also discuss the rumors of Brett Brown's dismissal, Bryan Colangelo's denial, and Jerry Colangelo's all-around snake-in-the-grassedness.

We're a month till the Lottery Party kids, let's do this.

James Harden looks like he might leave, and Nick Nurse is interviewing for the Sixers head coaching job.

Then we try and figure out how we'll talk about Tobias Harris for the rest of the year without exploding, Paul Reed's good game and Maxey's good game.

Sixers center Mo Bamba joined us on the Ricky! We talked about everything from his relationship to Joel Embiid, to criticisms of his effort, to playing for Nick Nurse, and his workouts with Tyrese Maxey. We also ask him about the Harden situation and the Lillard trade. Most importantly, we talked to him about his famous appearance on the JJ Redick podcast for the 'person in a cage' story.

Daryl Morey eulogized the season, Doc Rivers said they can fix Ben Simmons, and we’re off into the first full offseason of the Morey era for the Sixers. We address some of the biggest things we were too pissed off to talk about after Game 7, including the market for Ben Simmons, if the Sixers have to trade him, which young players and veterans are most important to keep, should they consider moving on from Doc Rivers, and whether there is a market for Tobias Harris. We also discuss the Celtics head coach hiring, the Pistons winning the lottery and more.

People have asked a lot of times, so we go over every possible free-agent target the Sixers could have this summer.

We also discuss the current NBA playoffs and give our predictions, discuss Bryan Colangelo's appearance with Derek Bodner on Sixers Beat, once again talk about the snakiness of Jerry Colangelo, take some Twitter questions, and cryptically hint at something we won't discuss.

All in all, a pretty full show.
